Pkeiifxt Cleveland said he will call the incoming congress together in March in extra session unless something is done at this session to relieve the treasury. The annual seed distribution at the agricultural department has so far re suited iu sending out 1,300,000 pajers of vegetable seeds to people throughout the country. The work will probably not le completed lefore May. There are still about f.,000,000 paper of seeds awaiting distribution. The state forestry commission has de cided to ask the legislature for an appro priation for the purchase of 120,000 acres of land in order that they may create a public forest reservation. This will le a step in the direction of forest parks that will in the future maintain the watersheds and give to the rivers aod runs their volume in the dry season. Kx flovERXon 11 bert E Pattison was nominated for mayor of Philaelphia by the I leinooratic convention in Warner's hall, I'road and Wallace streets, on Wednesday. His only opponent was Colonel Charles H. Banes, named by Michael J. Iiyan on the part of the Pennsylvania Democracy. The con vention, in the words of one apprecia tive delegate, was "full of ginger." A crowd of unemployed workingmen of St. Johns, X. F., battered down the doors of the legislative building Tuesday, but the members were absent. Then the mob looted several provision stores and were only subdued by a bayonet charge. Several of the ring leaders are in jail, around which the crowd is surg ing. If further disturbance ensure, marines from the warship Tourmaline will be landed and there may be blood shed. The new constitution of New York lermits the use of ballot machines and one has leen tried with satisfactory re sults. The voter presses a knob opposite the name of each candidate he wishes to vote for and the vote is automatically recorded and counted. No printed bal lots are used, no clerks are necessary, relating is a mechanical impossibility and the moment the polls are closed the footings are ready for the press. It is claimed that by the use of ballot ma chines an election can be held quicker, c heaper, and with less chance of error than by the present method though this very fact may delay its adoption. A hill has been introduced in the house at Harrisburg, by Mr. Cotton, of Allegheny, providing for the execution of criminals by electricity. The pro posed act relieves sheriffs from the in tliction of the death penalty and places the execution in penitentiaries under the direction of the wardens. It is practi cally the same as the New York law, ex cept that newspajier men are allowed to witness the execution, and has been approved by sheriffs, humanitarians and all others in the state whose desires that such execution shall take place with as few revolting surrouudings as possible. Mr. Cotton also introduced a bill limit ing the business of building and loan as sociations in the county in which they belong. At the "Good Roads Bureau" of the agricultural department, at Washington the cheering information is given that the prospects are good for a live ag itation this year of the question of im provement of the highways in every part of the country. General Roy Stone, chief of the bureau, is now in the West, visiting one legislature after another as he finds them in session, and urging upon them prompt and intelligent ac tion in some way for a beginning of the great work. The bureau already has a list of about SO legislatures in which bills for this purpose have been or will be introduced, the trend of intention in most cases be ing in the direction of the appointment of state commissions and conferring on the counties the power to issue bonds and levy a money tax in place of the primitive system of allowing farmers to "work out" their road tax when and how they pleaded. The plethoric condition of the state treasury will give ample reason to the lawmakers for numerous raids on it and one of the first introduced at this session was that of Mr. Ritter, of Philadelphia, on Wednesday which provides, "that judges who shall resign their office after 20 years consecutive, or more than 30 years aggregate service, and after having attained the age of 70 years, shall re ceive thereafter the full annual salary paid them while on the bench." There is no good reason why a judge who has leen drawing his salary of $3,000 a year for twenty years should re ceive a pension. The salary is ample and in nine cases out often, more than the judi dicial incumbent could make practicing law and we have yet to hear of a judicial district where the dominant party had any trouble in getting plenty of candi dates, anxious and w illing to accept the office. Over in our neighboring county of Indiana, some of the friends of both judicial candidates have nearly placed themselves in jeopardy of the prison walls in order that their candidate might be elected and that is some evidence of the anxiety of the candidates for elec tion. We are besides opposed to civil pen sions in this country. Give officials a fair palary that will command good service, but no pensions except for military ser vice. A civil pension list should never Je tolerated iu a free country. - The executive committee of the Dem ocratic association of Minnesota has is sued a stirring address in favor of con tinuing the educational campaign for free trade. There is no mincing of phrases in this address, which declares opnly and boldly for "free trade under which no import will lc taxed for inter nal revenue." In the estimation of the committee "it is not Democratic to tux men on what they consume hqiI exempt all other forms of property." As the alternative for custom house taxes the committee declares that we must frank ly accept "a direct tax levied as provi ded in the constitution of the United States." One of the lest educationol agencies in lehalf of free trade is the new tariff. When the people come to recognize the beneficent operation of the new tariff in cheapening: the materials of industry and in widening the markets for Amer ican products, they will proceed, in their own lime and in their own way, to fur ther reforms in tariff legislation. I!ut the operation cannot be accomplished in a day or a year, as the adjustmeuts of trade to new conditions are necessariiy slow. Oue point of great importance al ready gained is that the Republicans t dare not revert to Mckinleyism. There can, however, be no standstill. Instead of reaction, there will le progress until the last barriers to commercial freedom shall have fallen to the ground. Al ready the partisan hostility to the new tariff is dying away, and in good time it. too, will le replaced by a U tter measure, with the hearty approval of the people irrespective of party. R. G. pes Co 's weekly review of trade says: Neither the beginning of the neiv year nor the failure of the currency bill has brought any material change to bus iness as yet. The idea tiiat business would suddenly take ainew start after the holidays had rather less foundation even than usual, but the hope of strong reviv al a little later is cherished by many. The currency bill, with its possibilities of vicious amendments, was a source of apprehension to some, but with that out of the way, the deficiency of treasury re ceipts remaius, and exports of gold do not cease. There has not leen much time for change in the industries, but differences observed since the new year began are not in the direction of higher prices or larger demands. There arc more indications than of late that stocks of different kinds of goods have been ac cumulating in consequence of past in crease in production. The weekly output of pig iron for Jan uary shows practically no change, but stocks of unsold pig increased during the month about 20,000 tons weekly, so that actual consumption in the manu facture seems to have been alxmt 14S, 000 tons weekly against l"7,OO0 in No vember. In any case the industry is doing vastly better than a year ago, when the output was less than 10,000, but in dications of excess of production over demand are found in further weaknr.-s of prices. Low prices at Pittsburg have checked business at the West. The estimates of the area, product, and value by state and territories of the cereal crops, together with those of hay, potatoes, and tobacco have been com pleted by the statistician of the agricul tural department and are presented as follows: The corn crop of 1S'.4, in rate of yield, is one of the lowest on record. In the past thirteen years the jield i-r acre of but one year, name !y, ISM, was lower, the yield for that year having been 18:G, against 1.4 for the year 18".4. Severe drought and dry winds in a few of the principal corn-producing states reduced the area harvested for its grain value to ;2,5S2.(00 from the 70,(00,to0 acres planted. The product garnered is 1,212. 770,000 bushels, having an estimated farm value of $534,l'l'.,000. The wheat crop is above an average one in yield per acre. The entire pro duct for the country is 400,207, 41(1 bushels, which is below the average for the five years 18W to lS'.M inclusive. The farm value of the crop is 225,1102, 025. The area, according to revised es timates, is 34,882,437 acres. In the re vision of acreage the principle changes have been made in the spring wheat states. The rate of yield is 13.2 bushels per acre; the average value per bushel, 49.1 cents. The spectacle of Gorman and Hill dis puting as to which of them is resjonsi ble for the recent defeat of the Demo cratic patry.says the Philadelphia Tim, must have made even the senate smile. They are both of them riht and both wrong, though Gormau is the farther wrong of the two. His pretense that he only tinkered the tariff to secure more revenue is moon shine. Most of his amendments were worthless for revenue, however valuable for protection, and they did more to dis credit his party than any of Hill's vaga ries did. The two might be left to fight it out, only that the tariff is not the question just now. The treasury, no doubt, would be in better shape if it had more revenue, but it would take an impossi bly large surplus now to restore confi dence in the currency. The senators should get together and do something, and after that they can settle their old scores. Snow slides covering Five miles west of Lock Haven on the Philadelphia !fc Erie railrt ad, blocked traffic Sunday morning. While a freight train, east bound, was running along the base of the snow-capped Alleghenies, with the icebound Susquehanna below it was sud denly submerged by an avalanche of dry sleety 6now which coursed down .the mountain side between Ritchie and Hy ner. The train was covered almost its entire length. Crews from the east and from the west, to the number of several hundred trainmen, came to the rescue, and worked the train through the snow for a di&tauce of five miles. W asliiiisrtitii Letter. Washington, P. C., Jan. 11. l'-'o j President Cleveland and Secretary Car- j lisle were far from being ple.ised at the j success of the combination of liepubli licans, ipu lists and anti-administration i Democrats, which resulted in the hou.-e j refusing liv a vote of 12'.i to 121 to adopt the order reported from the committee on rnie.-. living a day to v-e iij.mi the currency let'onu luii : i''H tlicv .-tin heiieve thai a tail can te j.i.-s.-el. '1 he direct result of that vote is the temporary lav ing a.-iile of the currency biii, but steps are lieing taken which it is hoped will result in getting the. support of enough of the Democrats who voted against the rule to make the ultimate pass tge f a currency bill by the house a certainty. Representative I!!and, of Missouri, who was one of those Democrat-, says it will le an easy matter to get the support of nearly all of them by amending t tie bill so as to recognize silver. One thing now seems certain. If no financial bill is passed at tin.- session an extra session of congress will have to le calltd. Senator Lxlge having announced his intention to offer an amendment to the diplomatic ami consular appropria tion bill, when it comes up in the sen ate, providing that tiie consular service shall pass under the jurisdiction of the civil service commission, Senator C'oek rell, chairman of the apptopri.-itio'i com mittee, w ho will have charge of the bill, was asked if bethought the amendment would he adopted. '.,': was his pos itive reply. Continuing, he said: "I am not in favor of extending the civil ser vice law over any more offices. I lieheve that the intention of congress and the spirit of the law have slna ly been ex celled. It was never confemplated that so many branches of the government as now are included in the classified service should be so. I believe both President Cleveland and President Harrison have exceeded their duty and authority in this respect, and if they are going any furth er and take any more officials under this humbug system, I jirojM.se they go the whole hog, and include the heads of bureaux-, members of cabinet, and the President himself. I do not see why we should excejd the .resident from a civil service examination, if vve are going to include all the rest of the executive offi cers of the government." It will be interesting to note how many Republican newspajiers will be honest nough to give the administration proff er credit for having comjelied the gov ernment of Spain to remove the discrim ination of 75 cents a barrel against flour shipped from the United States to Cuba. This dijilomatic victory was not easily won, but President Cleveland and Secre tary Gresham decided that won it must be, and Minister Taylor was instructed to inform the Spanish government that it must choose between removing the discrimination against our llourand lutv Cuban sugar shut out of the United States, and that the choice must be made quick. The Spanish government is no toriously slow iu reaching a conclusion ujion anything, but iu this case it "got a move on" and quickly chose to abolish that discrimination. Senator Yoorhees, chairman of the senate finance committee, refused to grant a hearing to Coxey on his good roads and non interest bearing bond Scheme, on the ground that it Would be an absolute waste of time, as the com mittee would not attempt to consider the matter. Coxey was granted a hear ing before a subcommittee of the house committee on ways and means, consist ing of Bryan, of Nebraska; Dal.d, of Pennsylvania; Whiting, of Mi. big. m, and McMillin, of Tennessee, but there is no probability that any recommenda tion will Ik? made by the subcommittee. Secretary Carlisle's interpretation of that clause of the new tariff law which repealed the M. Kinky sugar bounty that it put an imn.i uiate stop to the pay mentof bounties has been unanimous ly sustained by the court of appeals of the District of Columbia, in a t st case. . i . i .... i - i . , .ino me couri aiso uecuies ttiat tiie su gar bounty was unconstitutional, two out of its three judges assenting and the third neither assenting nor dissenting, treatise of his belief that it was unnec essary to j.ass on the constitutionality of the bounty at this time. Redresentative Sibley, of Pennsylvan ia, w ho was elected to the hou.-e by Dem ocratic votes, but who long ago proclaim ed himself to be a Rejiublican on the tariff and a j.opuiist on the finance question, disgraced himfeif and his con stituents by making a jK-rsonal attack UJ.OU President Claveland, in a speech in the house, which was 0112 of the coarsest, most vulgar, and most ungen tlemanly ever made in congress ;in ion is divided as to whether he is half way crazy or merely seeking notoriety, and pity and disgust are the sentiments respectively held concerning him. m. H i lit tl lij aii rxploslnn. Butte, Mont., January 15. A fire oc curred in Butte Hardware Conq.any's ware house to-day, in which giant pow der was stored. The lire dej.artment were at work on the fire when an txjiiosion took place, killing a number of people. While ef forts wire being made to remove the dead and wounded a second explosion occurred. The entire lire dejmrtment was wiped out, including tiie chief and all the horses. Three jKlicemen were among the killed, w ho number at least seventy five. Plate glass was broken all over the city, and the damage to proper ty is enormous. It is imjossible to get details at j.resent. All the ambulances are rushing to and from the scene of theexj.losion. The relatives of the killed are frantic and the city is in consterna tion. The poweler in the warehouse was in violation of law. It was the greatest explosion in the history of the west. That Income Tax. Washington, January 1 1 The sena te rs and a large nunfber of sjectators in theasenate galleries were entertained for live hours to day with sjieeches bv sena tors Gorman, of Maryland, and Hill, of New York, on the subject of Mr. Hill's amendment to the urgent deficiency bill, by which he seeks to confer ou the United States court jurisdiction (in ad vance of the collection of the income tax) to decide upon its constitutionality and va'idity. Mr. Gorman discussed with great earn estness the condition of the treasury and oj.jiosed warmly any proposition that would imjutle the collection of revenue. In doing so he criticized very freely Mr. Hill's whole course in regard to the tar iff law. Mr. Hill defended his jtosition and retaliated upon the Mary land sena tor with an equally severe criticism of his course. Those who have gone to the hardware Stores the last few weeks to buy skates could not fail to notice the cheajmr-ss of the article. Skates that so late as five years ago cost $5 to j? can be bought at one tenth that j.rice. A hardware deal er explains this by the fact that most of the patents that made the skates expen sive have exphed. and that the process of manufacture has Uen soimj.roved as to reduce the original cost to the mini mum tigute He said that a first class pair of skates can be bought for 50 cents 'lue article cost j3 tenjears ago.

Schmid was the only occujiaut of the house where the fir start-?d. Just how the exlosion occurred will never le known. At 15 o'clock there was a loud re jKirt, and several jersons declare that the house seemed to be lifted clear off its foundations, then tumbled back a wreck, and an instant later was wrapped in flames. The persons first on the scene discovered Schmid standing in the front doorway, the door having leen blown from its hinges. He was buried to his waist in wreckage and surrounded by flames. Half a dozen men attempted to pull him out, but he was tightly wedged in. Three times they were drieu away by the flames, but urged by the unfor tunate man's cries, returned to the work of attemj.red rescue, but these efforts were in vain. As soon :is the firemen had the flames under control they made a search for Schmid's remains, which were recovered burned beyond recognition. Twnity I. ires Lost. London, January 14 An accident occurred to-day at the Bag Lake Colliery, at Audley. North Staffordshire, by which it is thought that at least twenty persons lost their lives. Two hundred and thirty men and boys were at work in the colliery when at about 12 o'clock there was a sudden rush of water from the old workings. About seventy men reached the shaft and wi re sjieedily hoisted out of danger. The pumps were promptly put at work and rescuing parties descended into the mine. The news of the accident spread w ith great rajiidity, and a wildly excited crowd was soon gathered about the jit head. It was not long before some ot the miners came to the surface, and every fresh arrival at the mouth of the jit was greeteil with cheers. By 5 o'clock oue hundred and liftv of the men and liovs Iim.I luet. r. c, 1 ! Of the eighty who were below it was thought that twenty were in "the lower workings when the mine was flooded and that they had leen drowned.
